The Catalyst Center is researching inequities in coverage and financing of care for children with special health care needs (CSHCN) among families of CSHCN who represent families of color, immigrants and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, those who speak a language other than English, and those with low income. We are conducting telephone interviews with families to explore the barriers they face and to learn about the services and supports that may help families overcome these barriers. Please share the project description and sample questions (available in Spanish: descripción del proyecto y ejemplos de preguntas ) with your extended networks of families, providers, community-based organizations, and others who are in contact with diverse and underserved families. For more information and/or to arrange an interview, contact Kasey Wilson, Catalyst Center Research Assistant Phone: 609-831-2087 Email: wilsonka@bu.edu
